  1. It would be very nice to get a update to add new weapons like (lasers, cannons, bombs, a weapon to re-direct airplanes, etc.) not that there's anything wrong with the current selection but it would definitely keep make the game experience feeling new and interesting.

  2. I've found a really annoying bug. I've got the full paid version, running on Galaxy S.

    The bug occurs when I start a new game. I go to "New Game", change the map, select "Start Game" but it goes back to an old game with the message "Quick Load Success". This is driving me crazy!

    I've uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache and data many, many times and it still doesn't remove this data. In fact, after I've supposedly removed the game and reinstalled it, it still retains my Rewards Points which means that it isn't really removing the game!

    When will this be fixed?

  3. Survivor mode is still not a challenge. I used to get over 40 million points before the added bonuses, but now I only get about 16 million. There's not nearly as many enemies at the later levels as there used to be. Please fix this again because it's not as awesome as it used to be. Perhaps you could make a difficulty setting for survivor mode for those of us who have conquered it numerous times.

  4. Running the paid 2.1.0 and I can't save any in-progress game, I get "Quick Save Failed: File Not Found", if I uninstall and reinstall will I loose all of my progress? It's also running off the SD card if that matters. Droid original, Android 2.2.2

  7. First I want to thank Lupis Labs, I am so happy that the game gets constant improvements - it is so appreciated.

    On a slightly different note:
    I do have to say that survival mode is still not challenging or producing points like it used to.

  8. Also having an issue with new games on Galaxy S (Capitvate). No matter what level I choose it always loads the same game (a VR level I played).

  9. I know it is old and not that common a phone, but it would be nice if the full version was compatible with the motorola backflip (MB300). The free version works fine. I like it enough to buy the full version but can't because it isn't listed as compatible.

  15. For those who are experiencing the "Quick Save" bug described above, please e-mail us at lupislabs@gmail.com. We have been trying to reproduce this ourselves but have not been able to get the issue to happen on any of our test devices. We may need to work closely with you to figure out what is happening on your device.

    Thanks!

  16. Rewards points text is incorrect.
    Increase bullet power by 12%
    should be
    Increase bullet power TO 12%
    anywhere that by is used should be changed to
    TO

  18. Out of pure curiosity, I was wondering if the actual base stats for the towers are ever going to be shared? I mean, for the most part there's really a lot of guessing... Assuming how much of a difference that 1% is going to make... But what it that 1% really adding? Especially now that the Tower Mix mode is out.. sometimes I feel like I'm needlessly building towers that are totally worthless compared to another. Thanks for the awesome game though! Whatever you end up doing, I think this was incredibly well made and I'm glad I bought it! Absolutely worth it. I do my best to encourage everyone I know to buy it as well.

  19. Really looking forward to one more tower of some sorts to be added. Maybe a laser, green goo or long range spy drones. I'm not picky.

    Still an awesome game

  20. Hi. Can anyone help show me how can I get a full version of this game? I just can't seem to figure out. YOur help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

  21. I find that the air and group units are very unbalanced. In a game of survival mode I would need more than half the screen covered with fully upgraded air rocket towers to be able to kill the ONE wave of 50-or-so fighters that are so dense they look like there are only three of them, while about ten rocket towers and ten artilery towers is enough to kill the ground units.

    As killing ground units is about 90% of the game (measured in time), this is getting old fast.

    When one round takes more than one hour, you end up playing for 55 minutes only to have the game ruined by the one fighter wave which ruins your statistics and the points earned for upgrading.

    It is sooooooooo fun to have ten waves in a row with the slooooow robots that takes about 90 seconds to kill on fast and give you next to no money to build towers (10 minutes of boredom). I would like to have a lot less waves with only $10 robots and $5 tanks and a lot more waves with the faster enemies.

  27. I want to buy full version.
    I'm using HTC Legend and I'd play free version but I can't buy full version. I can buy other games via android market but not this game.

  28. Is there a way to go back to a previous version I find that survivor mode was better prior to 2.0.9 you'd actually have to be on top of everything right now I can pretty much upgrade 8 towers within my maze set the phone down till its about level 60. Then upgrade some more and im good till about 80. Would love to be able to get some older updates 2.0.0 - 2.0.8 to see which one was the best.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Come to think of it I had not gotten a perfect game on survivor until it was updated would love to try my new maze out on older version of survivor to see how I fair. the waves of drop ships and huge waves of 10$ bots before were ridiculously hard. It made it was definetly harder.

  34. Dear King Lupis,

    I photo researching a story about smartphone games on Android for our personal Tech section that runs Thurs. 6/9/11. One of the games mentioned is Robo Defense. Any chance you can send me some images of that game on the Android? Please let em know.

    Best,

  35. Dear King Lupis,

    I believe there may be some unintended changes to the game's scoring/reward point system after the latest update. I just finished level 101 and a perfect game netted me 4.9 million reward points. Prior to the update, I have gotten 5 million reward points at around level 80. This is a persistent problem and it is very frustrating to be under-rewarded for completing a high level in the game. Would you please look into this issue? Thank you!

    Having played the game as much as I have I have come to discover that the enemy waves aren't always equal. Sometimes you'll have bigger waves of enemies throughout a level and therefore you rack up more points. Then sometimes you go through a bunch of smaller waves and your overall point total won't be as high.

    Then after that the post-game bonuses are based on how many points you accumulate during the game. Example: the Victory Bonus is worth 20% of what your accumulated points, and the same for a perfect game bonus, the Remaining Health Bonus is a percent of how many lives you have at the end of the game(20 lives=20%, 30 lives 30%, and so on), and the Remaining Money Bonus I'm not sure how this is calculated exactly but I know that a good tactic is to sell off as much of your towers as possible on the 100th wave(example: sell your anti air when you get sent ground unit and vice-versa).

    Put that all together and it's a lot of things that are based on your accumulated score. When you get up to level 600 you'll notice a difference of a million points between one level and the next sometimes.

    Hope this is helpful.... and P.S. @KingLupis I'm still hoping you guys can fix the survivor mode bug because is has not been the same since the 2.0.9 update. I'm getting about 30% pf the enemies I'm used to getting.
